explanation for non-techies**

Microsoft Teams is set to introduce a new feature that will make searching for information related to people much easier. Imagine you're at a networking event and trying to remember details about someone you frequently meet. Instead of racking your brain for every past conversation, you have a helpful assistant who whispers reminders about your interactions with that person. This is similar to what the enhanced people query suggestions in Microsoft Teams will do for you.

When you start typing a person's name in the search bar, Teams will suggest queries that are most relevant to your past interactions with them. It's like having a personal assistant who knows your conversation history and can quickly bring up the most pertinent details. This feature is designed to help you recall content related to people you frequently interact with, saving you time and effort.

The rollout of this feature will begin in October 2024 and will be available on both Windows and Mac desktops. It's a default feature, meaning it will automatically be available without needing any action from administrators. However, it might be helpful to inform your team about this change and update any documentation to reflect this new capability.

In essence, this enhancement is about making your search experience in Teams more intuitive and efficient, much like having a digital memory aid that helps you find the information you need with minimal effort.
